Take a deep breath and try to keep your mind at ease. To me living in the moment is letting yourself and your worries go. While it's hard, you have to find a way to disconnect from everything that's holding you back just long enough for you to live in the moment and truly immerse yourself in it.

Like a child. I allow even my most relative experiences to feel like it's the first time. Not every video of cereal taste the same. Not every walk to the park smells of feels the same. I'm not going to rob myself from experiencing the subtle differences.

Living in the moment is hard, but the best way to do it is to just try and accept yourself as best you can. You are only human. You have made mistakes, but you have also done good things, and as long as you find some way to feel satisfied with today, then that can be considered living in the moment.

To me living in the moment means to be in the now, this day, this hour, this minute. Sometimes, we can be preoccupied with the past and the present and we forget today. So when you choose to live in the moment put away the pain of the past and the fear of the future and be open to the beauty of today.

Be Least bothered about the past and the future. It is difficult, even though people easily say that. No one can completely execute this thinking well. But you can surely think this way most of the time. The answer for the question how: Just understand that nothing is going to change if you think about the past or the future. This thinking must not be misunderstood the other way. You always have to learn from mistakes in the past and take care that you never repeat the same. Likewise, Keep motivated thinking about the future. In short, positive thoughts of future is fine, but don't think about negatives of your past.

One way to stay in the present moment is to just practice noticing things - the feel of a shirt, the smell of some tea, the kindness of a stranger, the sound of a bird - in the moment it is happening. Try to experience the moment with all your senses. This is the way to avoid ruminating on the past or worrying about the future - by fully experiencing the now.

Don't worry about anything that is not yet a problem, overthinking situations that haven't happened prevents you from living in the moment. Take a breath and take everything in and gain an understanding of where you are and what the situation is, that's how you live in the moment

Stop thinking about the past/future. Close your eyes, breathe in, feel the air fill your lungs, open your eyes, look around you at the colors. Smell the air, identify all the scents you can. Touch your shirt, feel the fabric underneath your fingers. Look around you at all the colors of the world. Experience life to the fullest. Never miss a moment.

While breathing, Count the blessings right now. Having a body, feeling each breath and being thankful for what you have. It will make you realize that you are present in the moment. And with each thought that makes you uncomfortable, identify its origin and the reason of it coming in present moment
